Pre-Permit Zoning Plan Check

Pre-Permit Zoning Plan Check allows proposed projects or sites to be reviewed for compliance with the Zoning Code prior to applying for a building permit. An applicant may have a proposed project and submit a site plan with elevations. Alternatively, an applicant may receive a summary of applicable development standards for a site without a specific development proposal or proposed site plans.

Required?

Pre-Permit Zoning Plan Check is optional. However, it is recommended for large and/or complex projects to:

Ensure development standards are met;

Identify any possible land use reviews; and/or

Determine whether the Community Design Standards can be met for sites in the Design 'd' overlay zone.

A land use planner reviews plans for Zoning Code compliance. Review does not include any other bureaus or agencies.

Results: Within 3 weeks of request, Land Use planner mails a summary outlining development standards and identifying any required land use reviews. Applicant then applies for pre-application conference (required for a Type III or Type IV land use review), land use review or building permit (if a land use review is not required).
